In Japanese Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Trick can exchange Mail, but causes the Mail Trick glitch. In international releases of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, as well as all releases of subsequent games, Trick will fail if either Pokémon is holding Mail.

Generation V

Trick no longer switches a Trainer's Pokémon's items permanently; however, items switched in wild battles are permanently switched. Trick will now succeed with a Griseous Orb as long as neither the user nor the target is Giratina.

Trick cannot exchange a Drive if the user or the target is a Genesect.
